THEORY
- SYSTEMIC THEORY
- Definition
- PART (B) Particular definition: Systems, from the four directions
of Philosophy, Theory, Methodology and Application, in dynamic, multiple-causal
interactive relationship, acting as a family, having members in a meaningful
relationship acting as wholes and possessing organization as a process with
aspects determined by boundaries set by the observer according to subjective
and objective considerations that might be static or dynamic, with qualities
or quantities that are simplicity compared relatively to complexity resulting
in closed or open systems having form and function which can have emergent
effects creating an evolution or devolution depending on internal or external
relationships utilizing diffentiation and integration to form order out
of chaoic behavior all at once over a period of time i.e., "autopoiesis"
(self generation)

System Theories

- Organismic theory,
- Activity Theory (p293?)
- Relationship Theory
- Living systems theory,
- Soft Systems Theory,
- Dynamic Systems Theory,
- A general theory of dynamic systems,
- Complexity Theory
Complexity levels: (fm Francois)
- Miller's taxonomy of living systems; levels of organization;
- Critical Subsystems; Translevel Hypothesis.
The various kinds of systems:
- Their ways of processing energy, matter and information.
- Neural nets and complex systems genesis.
From autopoiesis to autogenesis and vice-versa.
- The limits of autonomy; controls, natural and artificial; cybenetics
of the complex control.
Complex cyclical behavior in systems:
- Deterministic chaos; limits to determinism in prospective and
planning; multi-level cyclivcal forecasting and planning.
Cybernetics of second order:
- The observer according to von Foerster, Maturana, and Jumarie;
- Korzybski's Structural differential
Creation of information: Information treatment; formalized languages.
